#Sensex Closes 447 Points Down at 31,922, #Nifty Ends at 9,964

Mumbai, September 22: Key Indian equity indices- BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty opened in red on Friday mainly due to weakness in Asia after North Korea threatened it could consider testing a nuclear weapon in the Pacific. The drastic fall in key indices can also be attributed to passive foreign investors. BSE Sensex slumped 201 points or 0.62% at 32,168.92 while the wider NSE Nifty was down by over 46 points or 0.46% at 10,075.55. The main gainers in BSE Sensex during the early morning trade on Friday were Dr Reddy, Sun Pharma, Lupin and Cipla. Similarly, the losers were Hindustan Unilever, Reliance, Tata Steel and ICICI Bank. The Indian rupee opened flat at 64.80 per dollar on Friday against its previous close at 64.81 per dollar.
